SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Tools for Querying Agents: Essential Materials\, Strategies\, and Resources
DESCRIPTION:Traditional publishing is already competitive. Stop self-sabotaging and get your best work out there.\n\n\n\nFor Long-Form Narrative (Fiction and Memoir) \n\n\n\nIs traditional publishing your goal? One of the best ways to get there is by securing literary agent representation. Except\, after countless hours of writing and editing your book\, it’s daunting to research agents\, write a query\, and sum up your book in a quick pitch. But relax—it’s not out of reach. You just need some help. This webinar will help put your best foot forward before hitting SEND. \n\n\n\nLet’s get organized! In this info-packed session\, we’ll cover all the necessary materials: the query letter and its essential components\, the author bio\, elevator pitch\, synopsis\, and manuscript formatting. We’ll discuss the process\, submission guidelines\, and how to avoid common faux pas\, using both DO and DON’T examples.  \n\n\n\nAt the end of this webinar\, you’ll have everything you need—and zero excuses not to query! \n\n\n\nCan’t make it live? No worries—a replay will be available to all registrants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nLEARN the materials you need to pitch and query\n\n\n\nELIMINATE embarrassing rookie mistakes\n\n\n\nUNDERSTAND the three essential components of a query letter \n\n\n\nFIND online tools to help with submission\n\n\n\nAPPRECIATE the accepted norms and rules\n\n\n\nINCORPORATE best practices in your querying\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is best for writers with a completed (or nearly complete) manuscript who\n\n\n\n\nwant the traditional publishing route\n\n\n\nare overwhelmed by the process\n\n\n\ndon’t know what they do and don’t need\n\n\n\ncould use some confidence OR \n\n\n\nare pretty sure they know what they’re doing\, but want a gut check before diving in\n\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKristin Owens\, PhD is an award-winning educator and writer living in sticky southwest Florida.
